Latin and Coptic: Languages, Literatures, Cultures in Contact
[Italiano]:Questo volume è la prima opera dedicata ai contatti tra latino e copto nell’Egitto tardoantico e bizantino. Esso si pone nel solco di un rinnovato interesse per quest’area multilingue e multiculturale, ma affronta un tema inesplorato con l’obiettivo di dimostrare che questo può essere indagato con profitto. I contributi esaminano fonti di diverso tipo sulla base di un approccio pluridisciplinare. Alcuni di essi affrontano temi di ampio respiro, come la presenza del latino in contesti monastici o scolastici accanto a varietà locali, mentre altri trattano questioni circoscritte, come l’uso del latino in determinati ambienti o in specifici documenti. Tutti i contributi mos...
Latin Loanwords in Ancient Greek
Why, when, and how did speakers of ancient Greek borrow words from Latin? Which words did they borrow? Who used Latin loanwords, and how? Who avoided them, and why? How many words were borrowed, and what kind of word? How long did the loanwords survive? Until now, attempts to answer such questions have been based on incomplete and often misleading evidence, but this study offers the first comprehensive collection of evidence from papyri, inscriptions, and literature from the fifth century BC to the sixth century AD. That collection – included in the book as a lexicon of Latin loanwords – is examined using insights from linguistic work on modern languages to provide new answers that often differ strikingly from earlier ones. The analysis is accessibly presented, and the lexicon offers a firm foundation for future work in this area.
Latin Military Papyri of Dura-Europos (P.Dura 55–145)
This is a full new edition of the Latin papyri from Dura Europos, which provide a wealth of material for several branches of Classical scholarship. They are a priceless source for palaeographers investigating the history of Latin writing, inasmuch as they represent a real archive containing documents produced by scribes who were presumably competent in both Latin and Greek. Historians of the Roman Empire and Roman army are offered a glance inside the everyday life of a Roman camp built within a Hellenized town of Semitic origin with a flourishing Jewish community. The papyri also provide glimpses into spoken Latin and substandard varieties, and the Latin texts survive alongside written samples of eight other languages (Greek, Palmyrenean, Hatrean, Syriac, Parthian and Pehlevi, Hebrew and Safaitic). The editions are accompanied by translations and notes, while the volume also includes a substantial introduction, appendix, and thorough commentary on the Feriale Duranum.

Fata Morgana Web 2022
Che cosa è accaduto da un punto di vista culturale e sociale in questo 2022? Che cosa abbiamo letto? Che cosa abbiamo visto? Quali sono i temi, le opere e le questioni che il nostro presente ci ha posto? E quali i “nomi propri” di cui è ricorso l’anniversario che rimangono ancora bussole importanti per leggere l’oggi? A tali domande vuole rispondere quest’opera, suddivisa in due volumi (Le visioni e I discorsi), che raccoglie quanto di più significativo la rivista “Fata Morgana Web” ha pubblicato quest’anno, integrandolo con due ampi testi d’apertura scritti da Roberto De Gaetano e Felice Cimatti, sulle parole chiave (prassi e verità) che hanno segnato il presente. Tra ...
Tutta un'altra storia 6
I dodici racconti di questo libro sono il risultato migliore della sesta edizione del concorso di scrittura a squadre Che Storia! Racconti avvincenti ed emozionanti in cui storia e invenzione si arricchiscono a vicenda, in un originale amalgama di curiosità e ricerca, di studio e fantasia. Racconti che affrontano temi centrali della riflessione storica intrecciando vicende private e avvenimenti collettivi. Racconti in cui la storia è vista dalla parte degli innocenti, degli indifesi, in un dialogo con la memoria impegnato ad opporsi al male e all'indifferenza. Perché ricordare è invitare alla comprensione e al dialogo, ma anche rifiutare di volgere lo sguardo dall'altra parte, davanti all'ingiustizia, all'intolleranza, alla violenza.
